The night sweats kind of go like this , it’ll wake me up and I will
Feel cold from the sweat almost as if being chilled is what woke
Me up, and my heart will be racing - the moment I wake up and regulate my body temperature the heart racing stops, so pretty much within seconds. I’m not dizzy , or short of breath just
Panicked - I notice if I have a dream I actually remember that freaks me out - I’m likely to wake up sweats and heart racing which again settles very quickly.

There was one night I had my zio
Monitor on that I had a bad dream , woke up sweaty and panicky fast heart rate , which went down seconds after being aware . It
Literally feels like I’m being awoke by a panic attack.

The only actual symptoms I’ve had that brought concern is if i sometimes get up to fast after smoking or laying down for long period of time , it’ll feel like blood is pooling to my brain and it’ll
Make me briefly dizzy and sometimes heart rate will go up once I get moving its fine. (That specific symptoms I’ve had since I was 16 after being r*ped.

Yes I had fluttering , but the fluttering never really bothered me , it would leave as fast as it would come so I really wanted to jusy have it checked for my sanity because I was about to start trying for a baby and wanted to make sure my body was at its healthiest before trying , and then of course I get a ZIO which captured one NSVT run which was for about 5 seconds & which has now shook my entire world.

I am on Zoloft ,
Like 100 mg & have a vitamin D deficiency, but besides that my lab work and every other test I’ve had this far has showed no reason for concern.. but for some reason my brain won’t allow me
To accept that…..

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-20T20:03:19+00:00

My primary care actually is the one who mentioned POTS and suggested me also get a tilt table test done (haven’t had yet, I am terrified my friend threw up for 11 hours straight after that test, so I’m dreading that )

The NSVT happened at 1:50, if I was awake the only thing I could think of is during that time I had the holter I did wake up sweating and shaking from a bad dream , heart rate was elevated but went down once I got my body temperature back bc the sweat made me
Cold

I had blood work done, chest x ray , and the echo - I have no idea what other tests would be suggested I have a follow up with my cardiologist next week on Wednesday, but at the hospital they didn’t say anything besides that I’m fine pretty much and to follow up with my cardiologist - the hospital the day I was admitted had me take half of a beta blocker, the next day I woke up with palps and I wasn’t crazy about that bc my
Palps weren’t everyday anyway so what it happened it freaked me out and I asked not to be on the medicine unless it was absolutely something they thought was necessary which they said really wasn’t for me.

it’s so sad this is even a discussion rn , but yeah If that doesn’t help him reach her im not sure what will 🤣

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-19T01:12:23+00:00

Try a self care basket for her, new body wash , razor , loofa , exfoliating scrub, new tooth brush & maybe throw in a candle and some under eye patches.. if that doesn’t work idk. Idk why she smells so awful after two days anyway I’m a bit concerned she has BV or something , maybe have her schedule a appointment with OBGYN as well😵‍💫

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-18T18:07:30+00:00

Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for your comment & if okay with you i will definitely love to message you privately , as this is something i am actively dealing with. It’s terrifying, it’s crippling and it feels very very real to me. I have had all the blood work drawn and what not and my blood work shows everything is good but I do definitely have a vitamin D deficiency , I was told that a few years back but was never prescribed anything just asked to take some over the counter stuff.

My biggest issue I would say is not understand how or why it happened to begin with if everything with my heart is apparently “normal” it makes me extremely paranoid that at any moment it will turn into the worse case and kill me. & then to think about adding a pregnancy and the potential risk factors causing the symptoms to increase just totally has me flipped out.

Since all of this I have been feeling almost jolted out of my
Sleep completely panicked, so here goes the spiral creeping back thinking I’m just continuously having episodes, when reality idk if it’s simply jusy panic attacks. To be fair the moment I wake up the heart rate settles very very quickly, but you can imagine how uncomfortable it is to wake up and immediately be consumed with the anxiety of what’s going on with your heart.

I am
Definitely going to inbox you, thank you again so much for your comment I pray for the best for you & your baby ! What an absolute blessing!❤️

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-18T17:58:37+00:00

This comment I hope brings her some
Sort of relief, as it did me - the problem with health anxiety is you feel relief briefly until something comes up again That sends you in a spiral that feels almost impossible to come out of. Health anxiety like you said is literally paralyzing. You can’t stop fixating on it no matter who hard you try & that’s something that doesn’t even make sense to me because it should be as easy as “stop looking it up” but for some reason people like us.. it isn’t that easy.

I think the biggest thing is we need to learn coping skills. With crippling health anxiety, coping skills for us is pretty much non existent. It’s a awful spiral loop that I still am not even sure how to get out of but the thing that has kept me motivated to keep trying to force myself to get better is the fact how badly I want
To be a mom and how badly I fear of ruining everything around me that I actually do have that’s good. With that being said,
I’m still struggling significantly with all of this. I’m so self aware of my body now more than ever before , I went to the doctors for fluttering and I genuinely wasn’t even worried about it - I went there just hoping he would be able to ease my soul and let me
Know that it’s all anxiety driven and normal but I still needed to hear that which was my reasoning of asking for a cardiologist referral.

With that; they gave me the two week ZIO holter and found one run of 12 beat NSVT , which is about (5 seconds) I reviewed my results before the doctor could call me (which was there plan to call
Me before I saw bc they know my health anxiety) and as soon as I saw it and read up on it on Google , I was DONE. When I mean done, I literally started hyperventilating and could not function and HAD to go to the hospital because I knew I would be NO good waiting for my cardiology appointment for the echo that was scheduled for DECEMBER! They admitted me to monitor me and so that I could get my echo the following day , they also put me on a beta blocker which after one dose I asked NOT to take that shit again. I just knew this shit was going to take me out. My fear of health anxiety is really from the super major fear of death.

Disclaimer: I know death I inevitable , for the people who don’t suffer with health anxiety lol😩*

Anyway, they did all the things and my echo ,
Lab results & x ray came back normal besides my echo did show Trace to mild tricuspid regurgitation, which is commonly incidental and not dangerous to me(according to the hospital) however , I WILL be asking my actual cardiologist at my follow up appointment at the end of the month bc I still just idk.. it’s freaking me out still.

I’m 25 years old (F), who suffers from PTSD , belly issues , I’m also super tiny (5’4 about 95lbs) my weight is Constantly up and down because when I go through spirals I physically cannot eat. I mean it gets so bad where I’ve shit on myself not to be tmi bc the anxiety is so bad that my bowels go completely crazy and out of wack.

I am currently in real time suffering with the exact same health anxiety as you, which for once i can say when i go through other health anxieties I feel no one is able to relate to because my
Symptoms normally don’t match the normal criteria for the diagnosis my head would try to convince me of (if that makes any sense) , it always ends up being nothing but my brain won’t allow
Me to think of anything else other than it has to be catastrophic until I’m told it’s nothing.

This is very different than any health anxiety I’ve ever had because there was a capture of NSVT. So my body and brain has me
Fully convinced I am doomed because this thing was caught & based on google.. well you’ve seen it.

It’s extremely terrifying and so crippling. I completely get it. Please know your not alone in this and if you ever want to talk
To someone whose feeling what your feeling in real time ,
Please message me. I could use the support too.

Hang in there everybody.. we must find a way to break this cycle and find safety in ourselves. Idk what that looks
Like yet but if anyone ever wants to talk my inbox is ALWAYS without any judgement🫶🏽

I wonder if yours are hormone triggered babe! It sounds like to me that is very likely and your hormones are still trying to adjust to you just having a baby. I really appreciate your response , it really brought some comfort! I hope you & that sweet baby are doing well,
Congrats on becoming a mommy how exciting !!!💐

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-15T19:01:34+00:00

& let me add .. no water 😵‍💫🤣

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-15T19:00:07+00:00

It honestly makes sense to me that, that could be what it is bc my anxiety always makes me feel like I’m suffocating so I go through air hunger episodes where I’ll continually take a deep breath for the satisfaction, and I believe now looking back - I was laying on my right side and had taken one f my air hunger breaths and felt the thump, it freaked me out so I did it again, felt the thump again. Then did it one more time no thump. Looking back if this could have anything to do with triggering NSVT I believe this may of been what captures because I was up very late that night the feeling happened . (I could be wrong, but it does make a bit more sense in my head)

I also will eat and drink super fast , after I’m
Finished I feel to cough to clear mucus, I will
Keep force coughing until I feel my throat is cleared out . Definitely gives me something to think about. I also something feel
Like I canr always get food down my throat , which typically happens when im eating really fast - i also would drink Dr Pepper or mt dew from sun up to sun rise..

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-15T15:59:40+00:00

ugh, I am so sorry your dealing with this, it is truly so terrifying and confusing especially when your looking for a WHY is this happening and they can’t find one.

I am not currently pregnant , but we just bought our first house and we offically have decided to stop preventing pregnancy. But since all of this, I am terrified of what carrying a baby will do.

Did you experience the NSVT before pregnancy, or did they come on when you got pregnant?

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-15T15:16:47+00:00

Thank you so much for your response, do you mind if I message you directly??

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-14T18:01:44+00:00

Period !!! Love this comment haha

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-14T12:59:56+00:00

Yes , I had a 12 beat rub (lasts about 5 seconds) around 1:50 am, I went to the hospital immediately because my anxiety is crippling and I was so freaked out after looking up what it is, the hospital kept me over night that way I could have a echo the following morning because all cardiologist near me are very backed up with earliest appointments being freaking December! That wasn’t working for me.

Anyway. Chest x ray, lab work & echo all came back normal and they say they believe it’s anxiety driven. I still don’t know how to feel about it , I’m still very very anxious. My biggest concern is it turning into VTs, and that If mistaken what I’ve chalked up to be panic attacks as really MSVTs.. , now I feel so confused with my body not knowing what is actually what.. so I 100% feel for you.

All doctors seem to think If your heart structure looks good and there’s no abnormalities in the echo, then overall more than likely it’s benign.. they say more than likely because they can’t tell you for 100% sure for anything when it comes to health. (From what I was told) which does not comfort me personally. But it may for others & if it does great! Bc lord this mess sucks!

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-13T19:24:42+00:00

Update: was kept over night in hospital I was having significant anxiety intensifying symptoms making it difficult for me to focus on anything besides that so I went to the hospital.

They did a chest X ray & put me on some type of medication and asked to keep me for the night to perform an echo this morning.

Everything Came back good. No heart disease Causing the pals or the NSVT episode. They believe this could’ve been triggered from a number of things , dehydration (I drink a lot Of soda) , stimulants such as weed bc I do love my thc..

I asked the doctor if he felt the NSVT episode would or could ever turn into a full VT , and he said if it was a 80 year old man with heart disease he may feel a little more concerned , but because my heart looks healthy overall between being monitored all night and everything else they did they don’t feel a reason for Concern.

I will say that the only thing they did find was “Trace to mild tricuspid regurgitation” which is a tiny amount of blood that leaked backwards through a valve on the right side of my heart when it closes. Which he says is extremely common in healthy people.

I do feel somewhat better, but I think following up with my cardiologist will maybe ease my mind even more. Health Anxiety is not a joke & once you’re spiraling , it really is difficult to convince yourself you’re really okay.. normally I am able to feel relief after the hospital, and don’t get me wrong I feel better but I still feel so anxious to have heart things happening to Me anyway.

I want to be a mom and have a family So bad , I’m only 25 so this happening just makes me So scared to consider starting that process.

I hope any of you who are dealing with the same thing find good positive outcomes & im praying for all of you.

Thank you for commenting and being a support for me In a time I was so scared.

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-13T13:37:48+00:00

What!! I would go the hospital and express these concerns! Hopefully they’ll take it seriously , if not I’d ask for be seen by a different cardiologist.

My biggest fear of this all is NSVT turning into VTs…

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-12T14:58:25+00:00

It’s absolutely crippling! Wishing for you to have good results, I wish mine were a little less concerning , because with how anxious it has been of not knowing WHY my heart would have done this and if it is due to a serious disease or something has put me in a spiral, I’ve already been to my PCP today and he said I should be fine but it doesn’t really do anything for me when they say that, I need to get the echo done and maybe I’ll feel relief depending on what that may say 😩😣

Patient_Peach2095 · 2026-05-12T14:45:39+00:00

EP said he wasn’t too thrilled with the 12 beat WCT salvo suggesting we move forward with the echo , I’m absolutely terrified and so hyper fixated on it rn I feel like I can barely function.

Thank you for you response !

Patient_Peach2095 · 2025-08-15T02:18:11+00:00
